This is always a bittersweet day as I am reminded of what this “holiday” is for. I love gathering with family and friends, throwing burgers, hot dogs, or steaks on the grill, and taking time off in general.
I am mostly reminded of the families that have an empty seat at their table and their loved ones that made the ultimate sacrifice. Let us never forget those that gave all and pray for our men and women serving today in harm’s way.
God sacrificed His one and only Son for us. The perfect one gave Himself up as a sacrifice for our sins. Remember Him each and every day as your prayers for your loved ones go up to God.
John 15:13 (NLT) - “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
